The Department of Mathematics offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics and the Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics. The Bachelor of Science degree may also be acquired with the explicit addition of one of these options: actuarial science, applied mathematics, pure mathematics, statistics, data science, or secondary teaching certification.

The Bachelor of Science pure math option is primarily intended for students wishing to pursue graduate work in mathematics. The applied mathematics option is aimed at students seeking careers as mathematicians in the emerging high-tech industries. The actuarial science option is intended for students with an interest in a career involving various applications of mathematics to the world of business. The data science option provides a mathematics major with the interdisciplinary skills to derive science and business insights from big data. The option with secondary teaching certification is intended for students desiring to teach mathematics at the secondary school level, and is offered in coordination with UT Arlington's UTeach program. The Bachelor of Arts degree is intended for those students seeking a traditional liberal arts education with an emphasis on mathematics.

The Bachelor of Arts provides students with a foundation of a liberal arts education and a broad overview of modern mathematics. This option requires a minor.
